Context — The Role of Workers in God's Missiongenerated
1 Corinthians 3:9 highlights the collaborative nature of ministry, where Paul identifies himself and the Corinthians as co-laborers in God's work. This metaphor illustrates how believers contribute to the growth of the church and the fulfillment of God's purposes, akin to a farmer tending to a field or a builder constructing a building. This passage encourages unity and cooperation among believers as they work together in their faith journey.

The Key Word — συνεργοί·, sunergosgenerated
The word συνεργός (sunergos) means 'fellow worker' or 'co-laborer', derived from the prefix σύν (together) and a root related to work. It signifies those who work alongside each other in a shared task.
In this verse, it emphasizes that Paul and the Corinthians are not just individual workers but are united in their efforts to advance God's kingdom.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also use 'fellow workers' and 'God’s building'.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of θεοῦ. The ASV and BBE use 'God's', while the LSV and YLT opt for 'of God'. Additionally, the verb ἐσμεν is rendered as 'we are' in the ASV and KJV, while the BBE and others use 'you are'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is introduced by the finite verb ἐσμεν, we are, which connects the subject to two noun phrases: συνεργοί· (fellow workers) and θεοῦ (of God). The second part of the verse continues with the verb ἐστε, you are, leading into two more noun phrases describing the Corinthians as God's field and building.
This structure shows a clear relationship between the workers and their roles, emphasizing both identity and purpose in the context of God's mission.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The term θεός is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew אֱלֹהִים (God), signifying the same supreme deity. This connection highlights the continuity of God's nature and presence from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
The word οἰκοδομή appears in the Septuagint in contexts relating to building and construction, reinforcing the metaphor of believers as a spiritual edifice.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Corinthians 3:9 tells us that Paul and the Corinthians are fellow workers in God's mission. Paul describes the Corinthians as God's field and building, showing their importance in God's work. This metaphor illustrates how believers contribute to the growth of the church.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Being a fellow worker with God means actively participating in His mission and purpose, collaborating with others in spreading the Gospel and building up the church.
Paul refers to the Corinthians as God's field to illustrate their potential for growth and productivity in faith, similar to how a field yields crops when properly tended.
Calling the church God's building emphasizes the idea of spiritual growth and community, where each believer contributes to the overall structure and health of the church.
Believers can work together as co-laborers by supporting one another in ministry, sharing their gifts and resources, and collaborating on outreach efforts to fulfill God's mission.

This sudden change of metaphor is a characteristic of St. Paul’s style; a similar instance is to be found in 2 Corinthians 10:4-8, where the illustration given from architecture is…

It would perhaps be more correct to translate θεουγαρεσμενσυνεργαι, we are fellow labourers of God; for, as the preposition συν may express the joint labour of the teachers one with another, and not with God, I had rather, with Bishop Pearce, translate as above: i.e. we labour together in the work of God.

Read AdamClarke on 1 Corinthians 3 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges9. For we are labourers together with God] The Apostle now gives the argument another turn. From man’s point of view the preachers of the Gospel are mere instruments in God’s hands. Not so from God’s. He regards them as responsible beings, responsible to Him for the work they do. But the results are still God’s and God’s alone. The ministers of Christ may be fellow-labourers with God, but the husbandry, the building, are God’s, and not theirs.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Dei enim sumus adjutores : Dei agricultura estis, Dei ædificatio estis.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

God
(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:
(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.
(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…
This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word συνεργός (i.e., *sunergos*) means 'fellow-worker' or 'co-laborer.' It is composed of the prefix σύν (together) and a root related to work. This term appears in various New Testament contexts, often referring to individuals who assist in spreading the Christian message, such as in Romans and Philippians. The lexicons do not indicate significant disagreement on its meaning.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

The Greek word γεώργιον (georgion) refers to a cultivated field or farm and is derived from γεωργός (georgos). It encompasses meanings related to cultivation, husbandry, and tillage, appearing in contexts such as 1 Corinthians 3:9. The lexicons vary slightly in their emphasis on aspects like crops and orchards, but all agree on its agricultural connotations.

(Heb. sadeh), a cultivated field, but unenclosed. It is applied to any cultivated ground or pasture (Gen. 29:2; 31:4; 34:7), or tillage (Gen. 37:7; 47:24). It is also applied to woodland (Ps. 132:6) or mountain top (Judg. 9:32, 36; 2 Sam. 1:21). It denotes sometimes a cultivated region as opposed to the wilderness (Gen. 33:19; 36:35). Unwalled villages or scattered houses are spoken of as “in the fields” (Deut. 28:3, 16; Lev. 25:31;
The Hebrew sadeh is applied to any cultivated ground, and in some instances in marked opposition to the neighboring wilderness. On the other hand the sadeh is frequently contrasted with what is enclosed, whether a vineyard, a garden or a walled town. In many passages the term implies what is remote from a house, (Genesis 4:8; 24:63; 22:25) or settled habitation, as in the case of Esau. (Genesis 25:27) The separate plots of ground were marked off by stones, which might easily be removed, (19:14; 27:17) cf. Job 24:2; Prov 22:28; 23:10 The absence of fences rendered the fields liable to damage from straying cattle, (Exodus…

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

The Greek word οἰκοδομή (oikodome) is derived from οἶκος (house) and δέμω (to build). It primarily refers to the act of building or edification, especially in a metaphorical sense within the New Testament, indicating spiritual growth or development. This term appears in various contexts, such as Romans 14:19 and 1 Corinthians 14:26, and can also denote a physical structure, as seen in Matthew 24:1.

Among the Jews was suited to the climate and conditions of the country. They probably adopted the kind of architecture for their dwellings which they found already existing when they entered Canaan (Deut. 6:10; Num. 13:19). Phoenician artists (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:6, 18) assisted at the erection of the royal palace and the temple at Jerusalem. Foreigners also assisted at the restoration of the temple after the Exile (Ezra 3:7).

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

I am, exist
εἰμί eimi 2x
to be, to exist, Jn. 1:1; 17:5; Mt. 6:30; Lk. 4:25, freq.; ἐστί[ν], it is possible, proper, Heb. 9:5; a simple linking verb (“copula”) to the subject and predicate, and therefore in itself affecting the force of the sentence only by its tense, mood, etc., Jn. 1:1; 15:1, freq.; it also forms a frequent circumlocution with the participles of the present and perfect of other verbs, Mt. 19:22; Mk. 2:6
εἰμί The whole of the pres. ind. (except 2nd sg. εἶ) may be enclitic when εἰμί is the Copula; but the 3rd sg. is written ἔστι in certain cases of emphasis, e. g. ἔστι μοι, I have: when used as Verb Subst., it retains the accent in all persons. as Substantive Verb, to be, to exist, οὐκ ἔσθ᾽ οὗτος ἀνήρ, οὐδ᾽ ἔσσεται Od.; τεθνηῶτος, μηδ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἐόντος id. Od.; οὐκέτ᾽ ἔστι he is no more, Eur.; θεοὶ αἰὲν ἐόντες Il.; ἐσσόμενοι posterity, id. Il.; ζώντων καὶ ὄντων Ἀθηναίων Dem.:—so of cities, etc., ὄλωλεν, οὐδ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἔστι Τροία (cf. Troja fuit), Eur.
